Former Tottenham Hotspur player Danny Rose has named Cristian Romero as his favourite player in the current squad during a recent appearance on Sky Sports News (08/03/23 from 20:00 onwards).
Romero played a big part in the 0-0 draw against AC Milan in the Champions League last night, for all the wrong reasons.
After picking up a yellow card early in the game, the 24-year-old picked up a second with 12 minutes to go for a reckless challenge on Theo Hernandez.
Ultimately, the red card for Romero may not have impacted the final result all that much, but it was yet another worrying sign of his ill-discipline.
It’s an area assistant manager Cristian Stellini has spoken on the need for improvement before (Football.London).
Nevertheless, Romero’s exploits at Spurs have generally seen him receive praise, and the latest comes from former Tottenham defender Rose.

The 32-year-old was reporting on the game with Sky Sports News, and named Romero as someone he would have liked to have played alongside.
On the circumstances surrounding Romero’s red card, Rose said: “Romero is down on the floor injured. But I think the red card, well a second yellow, is going to be for him.
“[He’s] one of my favourite players for Tottenham. I wish I had the chance of playing with him.
“But he does run the risk of being a little rash. It’s part of his game. I am not sure he is going to change that at the age he is. You have to accept that.
“But making that mistake in the magnitude of a game like this. The last 13 minutes and needing a goal. It’s unacceptable.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I rate Cristian Romero very highly and I think he will continue to be one of the best defenders in the game, but he really has to work on his discipline and timing of tackles.
He would be far more effective if he stayed on his feet and considered his next move a little better.
